Summary

It’s November 11th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ Seventy Seven years ago this month, there was a veteran in Yonkers, New York who was sitting at home after being discharged from the military, having been wounded in World War II. His name was Hugh Redmond. Today we’re going to re-tell the story of Hugh Redmond his incredible life, his service as an intelligence officer, and his eventual death. And the reason that we’re focusing on it today is because of events happening next week. Joe Biden is traveling to Asia and, based on reporting from Reuters News, he will likely meet the President of China. And it’s in China where Hugh Redmond died. A captive held for over 15 years by the Chinese Government, often in solitary confinement and often tortured. To this day, we’re not really sure what happened to Hugh — officials in Beijing told us a story at the time but neither the US Government nor Hugh’s family ever believed it. So today I want to remind us of Hugh’s story of courage, tenacity, and love of country all as America’s president goes face to face with China’s President. It’s a story worth re-telling, folks, because as PDB listeners know, we face the growing prospect of war between China and America. And if that happens, we are going to need men and women just like Hugh Redmond. A new generation of American fighters who are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure freedom and liberty for all. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
